Sanders: Israel must be condemned for Gaza rioters' deaths - David Rosenberg

by David Rosenberg

Senator and 2016 Democratic hopeful blasts Israel for defense of Gaza border, says Israel should be condemned for rioters' deaths.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Israel over its use of force
to defend its border with Gaza against Arab rioters earlier this week
and slammed President Trump’s support for Israel’s behavior.

Speaking with The Intercept on Tuesday, the 2016 Democratic
presidential hopeful and Socialist senator blasted President Trump for
withdrawing the US from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, saying it would
likely set the US on a path towards war with Iran on behalf of Saudi
“multi-billionaires”.

“I fear that very much,” said Sanders of the prospects for war with
Iran following America’s withdrawal from the deal. “But I hope that is
not the case.”

Sanders also hit the Trump administration over its support for
Israel’s right to self-defense against riots and attempted terror
attacks along the Israel-Gaza frontier.

"Innocent people are being killed,” said Sanders, after roughly 60
rioters were shot dead on Monday during clashes next to Israel’s
security fence on the Gaza border.

"Those are terrible actions," Sanders said. "Instead of applauding
Israel for its actions, Israel should be condemned. Israel has a right
to security, but shooting unarmed protesters is not what it is about."

"Obviously Trump is playing a very counterproductive role in every sense.”

On Monday, approximately 60 Arab rioters were killed after tens of
thousands converged on the Israel-Gaza border in a series of violent
protests dubbed the “March of Return”.

Rioters hurled firebombs and flaming tires at soldiers, while some
attempted to breach Israel’s security fence along the Israel-Gaza
frontier.

Israeli snipers opened fire on stone-throwers and rioters who
attempted to breach the fence. Gaza health officials claim 60 rioters
will killed, and more than 2,700 more woundedSecurity officials say 24 of the rioters killed on Monday have been identified as Hamas terrorists.
